WHY THIS STOOOPID NAME?
In my photo you will see 2 dogs, one is by much loved ridgeback Faith the other a failed adoptee from a FANTASTIC rescue called IRON MOUNTAIN.
He had something, don’t ask me what cos I don’t know. I had been fostering for many years and had never failed but this little boy stole my heart.
We made the decision to adopt him and with full backingfrom the rescue we went ahead.
Now in the background of this I was always aware of the atrocities that go on in the name of rescue and I had always vowed I would do something……………tomorrow
Then this little boys brother collapsed, he literally fell apart from the inside out, another family member had a chronic heart problem and then this boy began to limp. We talked in depth with the rescue, we wanted to continue with the adoption but we wanted x-rays too. We offered to pay for them and they arranged with a well-known rescue/dogs home in London to have them done.
Then the phone call came, his hip joints were not connected and it was unlikely that his elbows were either. He had been in constant, unending pain from the day he was born.
We looked into operations and a figure of £20,000 was discussed, yep we even considered it, that is till the vet said he still could not guarantee a pain free life.
He was put to sleep on the table. My god I cried, I still cry, the injustice, the cruelty, the wickedness.
Then I got angry, these people were still breeding, there is no law to stop them or anyone else. I began to seethe, to be so full of anger and hatred and quite honestly I was no use to anyone.
My Friend Anna from IM made me realise how pointless it was; I was achieving nothing.
I began a quest. Most of you know that sadly I had to walk away and this is the result.
I loved the name of the other one so the name of this became so important to me, just for a change I had a drink of wine and I sat with laptop, thesaurus and domain names and I began to think (which in itself was painful) and ask myself why, it came to me in seconds. That boy, he was my reason, my fight, my passion and my reason for making tomorrow today.
His name was DIZZY, he will be remembered and even now as I genuinely wipe away a tear (yep I am a soft git) I miss him still but my god he did not die in vain.
